Transportation carbon emission efficiency network formation mechanism and spatial structural complexity analysis: Evidence from China by Lin Liu, Yuming Liu, Rong Zhao

“…This study employs the super-efficiency SBM model and social network analysis to examine the mechanistic formation of carbon emission networks, emphasizing temporal and gradient distribution patterns of efficiency networks, spatial transfer pathways, efficiency evolution characteristics, and the complexity of microstructures. Findings reveal: (1) The overall efficiency of carbon emissions exhibits a “N-shaped” trend over time, driven by local high efficiency inducing overall high-efficiency output. (2) Regional imbalances persist, characterized by a “λ-shaped” fixed radiation pattern centered around Beijing, with spatial transmission from eastern coastal areas to north-south transfer to western diffusion. …”

Effect of two-dimensional functional fillers size on the performance of BN/EPDM flexible neutron protection composite materials by ZONG Bo, ZENG Deyang, WANG Kaikai, TANG Wencai, FU Jiajia, CHANG Shuquan, HE Jialin, CHEN Fanglei, LI Ziping, LI Da

“…BN/EPDM flexible neutron protection composite materials were prepared by the process of plasticizing, mixing and hot pressing and vulcanization, and the content of BN was controlled at 20~100 phr (parts per hundred parts of rubber), and azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) acted as an initiator to promote the interfacial bonding between mercaptylated boron nitride (BN-SH) and EPDM substrate. Then, the microstructures of the materials such as functional group and microscopic morphology were characterized and analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). …”
